If human blood has plastics at a rate of ~ 1.6 µg/mL and a typical volume of blood donated during a whole blood donation is approximately 470-500 mL you’re looking at a reduction in plastics of a cool .0005 grams per donation. That’s 1/40th of a grain of rice!

Too inefficient, I’m just going to pump it all out and start again with fresh blood.

The trick is to find a blood boy like Peter Thiel

Why would I want Peter Thiel as my blood boy?

So you gotta do a full flush when you donate. Got it.

why would you use absolute values for something measured in such small quantities? show us the percentage that comes out. or the fraction of the grain of rice associated with kidney / liver damage

Don’t think of it like that, think of it as 10% of your total blood plastic!
I wonder if doing plasma instead of whole blood is better or worse. Does microplastic stay behind or go back in?

Damn apparently giving plasma might be better according to this small study of aussie firefighters

Ooh maybe I should donate again. Get some extra cash, get rid of micro plastics. Win win win.

I’d argue it’s better to call it “sell” when you get paid to do so.
Just like I am not donating money to Lidl to buy sour gummy worms.
